    摘要: A method for transforming an earth formation and/or production equipment based on correcting nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data to account for partially water-saturated rock includes: receiving NMR logging data having echo-trains for an earth formation; inverting the echo-trains to provide transverse relaxation time constant (T2) distributions for various components of fluid in the earth formation; substituting a T2 distribution for mobile water of fully water-saturated rock for a T2 distribution for mobile water of partially water-saturated rock based on values of the mobile water T2 distribution of partially water-saturated rock and a total porosity constraint; summing the T2 distribution for mobile water of fully water-saturated rock and a T2 distribution for an immobile water component of the fluid to provide a T, distribution for fully water-saturated rock; and transforming the earth formation and/or the production equipment based on a parameter derived from the T2 distribution for fully water-saturated rock.

    摘要: A method of estimating a wettability characteristic of a rock material includes acquiring a plurality of T2 distributions based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of a rock material under a plurality of fluid saturated rock conditions, constructing a measurement matrix based on the plurality of T2 distributions, and performing non-negative factorization of the measurement matrix to determine feature components. The method also includes reconstructing the plurality of T2 distributions based on the feature components, and extracting a first set of T2 distributions associated with mobile water under a wetting condition and a second set of T2 distributions associated with mobile water under a non-wetting condition based on the feature components, and calculating a wettability index (WI) based on the first extracted set of T2 distributions and the second extracted set of T2 distributions.

    摘要: A method of estimating a material mechanical property of a porous material, for an application or objective with a specific application frequency and application strain amplitude, includes estimating an application frequency and an application strain amplitude for use in a targeted application or objective, and constructing a frequency transfer function relating the material mechanical property to measurement frequencies, the measurement frequency range including a measurement frequency different from the application frequency.

    摘要: Systems and methods to evaluate a formation by analyzing drill cuttings involve a multi-frequency dielectric coaxial probe to obtain a reflected voltage from a medium under test based on a reference voltage over a frequency range. The medium under test includes the drill cuttings. The system includes a processor to compute an effective permittivity of the drill cuttings over the frequency range based on a reflection coefficient, which is a ratio of the reflected voltage to the reference voltage over the frequency range, and to determine one or more parameters from the effective permittivity. The one or more parameters are used to make decisions about subsequent drilling in the formation.

    摘要: An apparatus for estimating fracture properties of a resource bearing formation includes a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement device configured to be deployed in a region of interest including a tight rock formation region, the NMR measurement device including a transmitting assembly configured to transmit an NMR pulse sequence into the tight rock formation region, a receiving assembly configured to detect NMR signals corresponding to a response of the formation region to the pulse sequence, and a processor configured to receive the NMR signals. The processor is configured to invert the NMR signals into a transverse relaxation time (T2) distribution, separate the T2 distribution based on a cut-off time into a first volumetric indicative of matrix and pore responses and a second volumetric indicative of fracture responses, estimate a pore size distribution based on the second volumetric, and calculate a fracture aperture size distribution based on the pore diameter.

    摘要: Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method for deriving textual properties of a reservoir formation. The method includes acquiring multi-frequency dielectric data (εmeas). The method further includes applying a dielectric mixing model between different fluid phases to generate an effective fluid permittivity (εfluid) by mixing the permittivity of water and hydrocarbon fluids. The method further includes applying the dielectric mixing model between the effective fluid permittivity (εfluid) and a matrix permittivity (εm). The method further includes minimizing a difference between a measured dielectric response and the dielectric mixing model by optimizing model parameters. The method further includes computing a cementation exponent (m) and a saturation exponent (n) from the multi-frequency dielectric data (εmeas). The method further includes estimating a formation property based at least in part on the cementation exponent (m) and the saturation exponent (n). A wellbore operation is controlled based at least in part on the formation property.
